As psycho-oncologists, we are dedicated to helping patients cope with cancer, and make it through treatment. We work closely with oncology teams
to seamlessly manage health and existential anxieties; chronic mental health issues; physical symptoms with psychological dimensions; and
psychological symptoms and side-effects that, left unchecked, might compromise the integrity of cancer care. To do this, we offer an array of services, including mental health evaluation, individual psychotherapy, group counseling, and medication management. We also have several
specialized offerings including a menopausal symptom clinic, a sexual health program, and a mental health healing program for young adults with
cancer.
